Just looking at the artists Deviant art pages, some of them have been doing other commission work recently so it makes me think they aren't struggling to get pages done.

Also there's just no way all of the artists could be so far behind. We saw that Roger Robinson came onto Solar on short notice and finished 2 issues quickly. These guys aren't Rob Liefeld, there's no way it's taken Eduardo 5 months to do Turok 2. These books are done and for whatever reason DH is holding them back IMO.

6 Shooter books released so far and 14 solicited:

I think they are releasing these books too fast. They should slow it down.

Hahaha...yeah, wouldn't want anyone to get the impression that they are launching a new comic line...

Sure, the release dates have changed a few times but the books have never been late.

It seems these books have become a laughing stock. Shame. I'm still in, and looking forward to reading them, but the truth is I was bummed that they weren't monthly and now this...

I updated the top post in this thread. Hope springs eternal.

Samson 2 a full month ahead of Turok 2? Very odd.

Previews shows that Magnus #3 and Mighty Samson #2 are coming out next week.

For some reason Magnus is now listed as a 4 issue mini series on Previews webpage shipping list - and the list posted above.

AUG100022 MAGNUS ROBOT FIGHTER #3 (OF 4) $3.50

http://previewsworld.com/public/default ... s=449&ai=0

Maybe its just a misprint - who knows...

There is definately some strange things going on behind the scenes. It seems Shooter always has problems with comic publishers. Always. I kinda of expected it with this new run to be honest. Shame because the guy does really good work and we honestly dont have enough Shooter stories. I say this everytime I re-read my Pre-Unity stuff.

That was brought up quite awhile ago. Here is a thread that talks about it.

VikingSpawn posted this on the Dark-Key board yesterday: http://www.previewsworld.com/public/shi ... oweeks.txt

Doctor Solar #5 and Magnus #4 will be coming out on 2/23 per Previews. 4 issues in 2 weeks. Woohoo!

Even though it was said in jest earlier, I do kinda think these are coming out too fast. Title-wise that is. We've got 4 titles going already but nothing seems to be gathering much steam except for what we've seen regarding the plans for Solar. In the early VALIANT days they established Solar and Magnus before launching other stuff. Could too much on the table be waht's causing the delays?

I believe that is a strong possibility! I also believe thats why we have not seen anything on Spektor or M.A.R.S. Patrol as of yet. I think they bit off more than they could chew at 1st and they are now trying to get caught up! Shooter stated that there are Diabolical Plans in the mix for the Dark-Key Universe and that we would see a hint of that in The Mighty Samson #2! Thats comes out this coming week so I hope it will indeed give us a HINT of what is coming to us in the Dark-Key Universe!!!

I would be glad to get the issues but I think it makes more sense to try and re-establish a schedule of releases instead of dumping everything at once.

It would confirm my theory that these books have been done and just sitting around waiting for DH to release them. But I think it's stupid to put out a crap ton of issues then nothing for 4 months then dump them all at once. wth are they thinking?

Well put but i'll take it for now, i'd really like to see if Shooter's still got it! [I think he does :]

You raise a good point. Seems silly to keep launching new titles when you can't even get Solar and Magnus out in a decent time frame.

I'll be super surprised if Magnus 4 drops in two weeks. Pleasantly surprised, but not getting my hopes up.

Same here.

Looks like Wednesday we'll definately have Magnus 3 and Mighty Smason 2.

Previews still shows Magnus #4 and Solar #5 coming out on 2/23.
